I am experimenting with ultra-lightweight object capabilities-based OS's and have only briefly in the past worked a little with L4Re as I had troubles getting it to run cleanly on my Intel NUC7 (x86_64) hardware due to some type of graphics problem. In any case, I am back to see if I can give it another go and would like to work toward building a type of ultra-lightweight Kiosk type system that might run Chromium web browser in full screen mode without any type of window manager straight from booting up. The project that I have in mind would only use and need a fullscreen web browser, and perhaps capabilities to run containers (docker or podman) perhaps so that I could run a local web server and some other things in the containers.
Not sure if L4Re is able to handle all of this, but I wanted to ask, just in case.
That's indeed an interesting project! Definitely not today, as both a browser as well as container tech do require features of the OS that are not available. Things are improving gradually and running a web browser natively would be awesome. Regarding a web server that should be pretty good as all building blocks are there.
